Equitable Research Capacity Towards the Sustainable Development Goals: The Case for Open Science Hardware, by Arancio, Morales Tirado and Pearce.

"o achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), open science policies must shift focus from products to processes and infrastructure, including access to open source scientific equipment." https://doi.org/10.38126/JSPG210202

Pearce, J. (2015) Quantifying the Value of Open Source Hard-ware Development. Modern Economy, 6, 1-11. doi: 10.4236/me.2015.61001.

A case study of a syringe pump with numerous scientific and medical applications is presented. The results found millions of dollars of economic value from a relatively simple scientific device being released under open-licenses representing orders of magnitude increase in value from conventional proprietary development.

here is an interview with Pearce about the economic value for research among other things https://hardware-x.buzzsprout.com/1869873/10061801-hardwarex-in-the-limelight-with-editors-in-chief-joshua-pearce-and-todd-duncombe-and-associate-editor-santosh-pandey

Open-source hardware as a model of technological innovation and academic entrepreneurship: The Brazilian landscape Vinícius Rosa Cota et al in Innovation & Management Review

argue in favor of the open hardware philosophy (open-source hardware – OSH) as a technological innovation and academic entrepreneurshipmodel in Brazil.

very well researched, and has a good section on buisness models and limitations of IP

A case for weakening patent rights, Osborne, Pearce, Haselhuhn

they argue that the patent law built upon the condition of post WW2 is not suitable for accelerating innovation. this is mostel legal theory argument, based on the cases from 3D printing

Professors want to share: preliminary survey results on establishing open‐source‐endowed professorships Joshua M. Pearce et al https://doi.org/10.1007/s43545-022-00524-3

Survey on willingness of professors to accept Open source endowed professorships defined as: (1) ensure that all of their writing is distributed via open access, either by publishing in open-access journals or posting legal preprints of all academic work, as well as ensuring their books are made available on open-access platforms in some way, and (2) releasing all of their intellectual property in the public domain or under appropriate open-source licenses.

Strategic Investment in Open Hardware for National Security by Joshua M. Pearce

https://doi.org/10.3390/technologies10020053

In this article, Joshua Pearce argues based on a theoretical model that free open source hardware can be used as a sanction. This sanction can mainly be used by tech-owning countries against their opponents who are benefiting from closed state-controlled access to these technologies.
